In art we explored a new artist, Delita Martin. We looked at Delita’s work and what she expresses with her art, we then compared similarities and differences with our previous artist study, Frieda Kahlo. We then went on a gallery walk around the room, discussing with a partner what motifs we could see, how does the artwork make us feel, why do we think the artist created it, and did you like it?
